You always think that others are going to be as excited about the finished article, as you are, when you make something. You spend a lot of time making it, ironing out little problems and then present it to the person. The person says ‘Ooh nice’ at the time, but then won’t wear them……………and so it goes. I have tried, my husband has tried and she’s just not buying, the whole handmade sock deal.

So, I will try once more and then give them to a child who will wear them!
